The year's VMAs were definitely one for the books — but not without a few awkward moments. Here are some of the best:
1. Johnny Depp made an appearance inside a moon person:

2. People had the nerve not to stand for Nicki Minaj, so Taylor Swift called them out:

Legends supporting legends.
3. People called out Anitta's lip-synching:

4. Nicki pronounced Dixie D'Amelio's name like this, LMAO:
nicki minaj introducing dixie damelio to the stage 😭
5. DJ Khaled kept screaming the name of his album God Did and even announced it as a winner when he presented:

6. When Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow accepted their award, some thought it was weird that DJ Khaled and Offset only fist-bumped Lil Nas, but dabbed and hugged Jack:
Did anyone else notice that @OffsetYRN and @djkhaled gave @jackharlow a fist bump AND a hug, but only gave @LilNasX a fist bump and it was HIS song? #VMAs #LilNasX #MakeItMakeSense
7. Monét X Change and Peppermint did not know who Dylan O'Brien was:

8. Måneskin’s bass player had a wardrobe malfunction during their performance:

9. Addison Rae's mom, Sheri Easterling, and Yung Gravy debuted as a couple???

10. Flo Milli seemed to give a less-than-believable lipped performance:
FLO MILLI YOU LOOK SO GOOD SISTER #VMAs
